    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I ordered EBC ck3333 clutch plates for my 78 gs550, only to find that they dont fit. I gave my local dealer a call to have them look up the correct part thinking that I just made a mistake. They told me that these are the right plates though. So now the only thing I can think is that the engine on my bike is not a 78? anyone have any experience decoding the engine/frame numbers of pre-80s bikes? My uncle gave me this bike years ago and he's since passed away, so there's really no going back through previous owners. any ideas?
my frame is gs550-114922, and the engine is gs550-124643.
 
He did you a favor. Send them back and get OEM Suzuki clutch plates and springs.
 
I ordered off of amazon, so they'll probably take them back. Amazon claimed they fit, shame on me for not doing my homework.
 
Or you could get Suzuki plates and have a clutch that works perfectly forever.
 
forgive my naivety, but are the OEM parts really that much better? kinda looks like a big price difference
